1878 Mona's Herald 13 Feb. 3/3 Looking closely at the effects of this Traa dy liooar style of business in our midst, we find that it so closes men's mouths with regard to their real, pretended, or imaginary wants and grievances, that Manxmen's agitations for useful or necessary legislation are..exceedingly far and few between.

1903 Isle of Man Examiner 31 Oct. 2/6 It is in a ‘Traa dy looar’ spirit that Mr. Hall Caine's suggestions will be generally received.

1959 Isle of Man Daily Times 9 June 9/3 Being Manx, they are being rather ‘traa dy lioor’ about it.
